Disney Plus’ series, The Mandalorian, premiered on November 12, 2019 and all of the Star Wars fans, aka Star Warriors, are in love with it. There are only 8 episodes in Season 1, and each episode is approximately 35 minutes long.

The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire (Episode VI:  Return of the Jedi) and before the emergence of the First Order (Episode VII:  The Force Awakens). Disney went with a more of a western theme for this series; you can see this especially when the mandalorian attempts to mount a blurrg, but fails resulting in him getting bucked off. 

A mandalorian is a fictional character associated with the planet Mandalore in the Star Wars franchise. First created for Episode V:  The Empire Strikes Back as a group of white-armoured “supercommandos,” the idea developed into a single bounty hunter character known as Boba Fett. Beskar, also known as mandalorian steel, was an alloy used in mandalorian armor, notable for its high tolerance to extreme forms of damage. The metal was durable enough to withstand a direct blaster shot and could repel lightsabers. Mandalorians are also known/recognizable for their famous catch phrase, “This is the Way.”

In the series, we follow the travels of a lone gunfighter, accompanied by “Baby Yoda,” in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the New Republic’s authority. No, Baby Yoda isn’t Yoda as a baby. In fact, Baby Yoda is only 50 years old while Yoda was 900 years old prior to his death before this series. Mandalorian Season 2 will be released in fall 2020. I have spoken.
